NBC New York is reporting that Jeffrey Epstein was found a short while ago lying on the floor of his cell in the fetal position. When examined, he was found to have marks around his neck.
Epstein, who is being held in Metropolitan Correctional Center during his trial for conspiracy and sex trafficking, was found semi-conscious with marks on his neck, two sources told News 4. Investigators are trying to piece together exactly what happened.
Two sources tell News 4 that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, while a third source cautioned that the injuries were not serious and questioned if Epstein might be using it as a way to get a transfer.
A fourth source said an assault has not been ruled out, and that another inmate was questioned. The inmate who investigators have talked to in Lower Manhattan facility has been identified as Nicholas Tartaglione, according to a source. Tartaglione is a former Orange County police officer who was arrested in December 2016 and accused of killing four men in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy, then burying their bodies in his yard in Otisville, according to court records.
The attorney for Tartaglione denied all the claims that his client attacked the financier, saying his client and Epstein get along well. The attorney added Epstein was seen today and appears to be fine.
Epstein is on suicide watch at this time. It’s interesting that it’s thought that he might have faked an assault. Obviously, jail life, real jail life, not open doors and work furloughs, does not agree with him. I have zero sympathy. He put himself where he is.
I worked in a state prison…Inmates consider Pedophiles the worst of the worst…”murder is respectable” compared to assaulting kids
My understanding is that another part of the criminal sanction on pedophiles is that they’re typically weak in every sense. Partnering up with one in the commission of a regular crime is considered a risk to the rest of the crew. Only junkies are considered more distrusted when it comes to flipping their partners.
Rapists and pedophiles get NO respect in the prison system, at all, ever. They get the worst of the worst. And no one EVER partners up with them. LOL
In a mean mood I guess. I would hope it was rape.
I understand your sentiment. But i must caution you, we don’t advocate violence around here — even to schmucks who arguably deserve it.
I get that.
I’m glad. I’ve got to keep the discourse civil. We depend upon other entities, who carry this blog on their platforms, and so we have to keep everybody happy.
I hope he isn’t killed or kills himself. I want him to face justice. I want him to sing like a fuckin’ canary. I want him to admit what he’s done and name names (one in particular, yes). Then he can off himself if he likes. I think he’s actually too in love with himself to kill himself. But if he does, after all that, I shall not shed a tear. In the interim I’d like him under 24 hour guard.
Didjyaever,
Totally agreed!
I want to hear about all his partners in crime in open court. However, there would be a few people who wouldn’t find that convenient and thus might want an “accident” to happen. This fits with my deeply held belief that corruption is rampant in govt.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t putt it past him to fake it.
What a disgusting excuse for a human being!
He can’t give that one up or he will be taken out. But if I were him, I would want to kill myself because you know what they are going to do to his pathetic self.
He definitely has reason for concern. Pedophiles are loathed in jail. He’d be much better off if he was a murderer or arsonist, definitely.
I want for him to be safe in prison, regardless his crimes. How we treat the worst offenders says more about us than them. Plus…that’s just part of my personal nature, a philosophy that having him sit alone in a cell staring at a wall for forty years is more of a punishment than his death would be, administered by himself or anyone else.
I agree with you. I’d rather have him alive and miserable for a long time than get a quick termination.
FAKE
No, not fake news. Just fake Epstein.
Whatever it is, he faked it.
It’s interesting that the “injuries” on his neck were so minor that that theory came about. It would fit with who he is. He couldn’t buy his way out of the jail cell, so now he’s looking for other angles.
I’m absolutely sure DJT is sweating bullets now about what Epstein might say about his involvement with young girls … hard to imagine the damage to a young girl, when touchy-feel himself takes his fantasy fun trip … AND there would be plenty of volunteers to ruin Epstein’s days and Trump would need some true believer’s to kick a little dirt into Epstein’s face … DJT’s multiple parties with young girls HAS to be one of those triggers that the GOP itself would want squelched ASAP so this could ending up as a big threat to party men as anything else
